3 EAACI Guideline: AIT for IgE-mediated Food Allergy Box 1 Recommendations for individuals with food allergy: barriers and facilitators to implementation, audit criteria and resource implications of recommendations AIT for patients with IgE-mediated food allergy Barriers to implementation Facilitators to implementation Audit criteria Resource implications In children with persistent IgE mediated food allergy and evidence of sensitization for cow s milk and/or hen s egg and/or peanut, oral immunotherapy (OIT) can be recommended for achieving desensitization and with the final goal of post- discontinuation effectiveness. Lack of knowledge amongst patients, caregivers and professionals about the benefits of food allergy immunotherapy (FA-AIT). Lack of access to FA- AIT. Unavailability of standardized products. Concerns about side effects, including anaphylaxis. Time consuming procedure with major investment in time for patients and their families. Outstanding scientific questions about the best approach for FA-AIT. Implementation of FA- AIT programs is specific clinical centers. Training and education with agreed pathways of care that include accessible advice from specialties for uncertain cases. Information amongst patients, caregivers and professionals about the benefits of FA- AIT and how to select patient for this approach. Government policy focused on allergies with research strategies to advance this area. Further research studies refine the approach to improve long-term efficacy, reduce adverse effects and assess impact on quality of life and health economics. Audit criteria Proportion of potentially eligible patients referred from primary care for a specialist assessment. Proportion of potentially eligible patients formally considered for FA-AIT. Adverse effects associated with FA-AIT and withdrawal from treatments. Thorough investigation of the patient including a complete assessment of relevant food allergies. Availability of FA-AIT and administration to appropriate patients. Ongoing training of staff and provision of appropriate facilities. Box 2 Key messages for primary care about referral to food allergy services FA- AIT CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR PATIENTS WITH IGE-MEDIATED FOOD ALLERGY: Evidence for effectiveness best for children with cow s milk (CM), hen s egg (HE), peanut allergy. Children with allergy to CM or HE should only be referred if they have not developed spontaneous tolerance by 4 to 5 years of age. Patients should be referred to a specialized clinical center for FA-AIT where immunotherapy is administered by competent personnel in a clinical setting adequately equipped for the management of anaphylaxis. Patients and families should be aware that FA- AIT is time consuming and not devoid of side effects. Advise patients that they are not to initiate FA-AIT themselves without specialist input FA- AIT IS NOT RECOMMENDED: For infants/children/adults in whom the diagnosis of food allergy is unclear or uncertain. Patients with non-ige mediated food allergy Patients with active Eosinophilic Esophagitis Patients with uncontrolled or severe asthma Supplementary materials EAACI E-15
